Well, that was easier than the market thought. |

Does this just muddy the selection waters?
How similar are UAE conditions to English ones? Is there any swing in UAE? |

"It was a surface with nothing in it for the bowlers, and frankly, not much for the viewers either. The lack of balance between ball and bat and the slowness of the surfaces meant there was little the bowlers could do to disturb the batsmen's rhythm, and resultantly alter the tempo of the game."
"Pakistan paid the price for a thoroughly circumspect first innings."

It doesn’t tell us anything useful. Finch and Marsh both need new jobs. |

Donny, one (or two) swallows don't make a summer. Finch has been bowled through the gate about 435 times in a row (basically, anyone who can get the ball to wobble a bit off straight has troubled him over the last 12 months) and Marsh is useless against the moving ball. The world is full of batsmen who can belt the thing all over the place when the wicket is straight up and down. It won't be in England - it never is. Horses for courses. If they were playing the World Cup in the UAE, my view would be different. |

It's interesting, because they're obviously going to make the WC pitches really, really flat for the home team's sake. England have constructed their whole ODI team and strategy on that for the last few years. If the ODI ball really swings a lot in England, shouldn't all their brawn-over-technique flat-track-bully top-order one-day batsmen have been exposed by now? |
